The cathedral has been tastefully renovated. There is a mixture of the old and the new and whole place looks brighter and more colourful. Besides, it is a beautiful place to worship.

The old part of the cathedral blended in well with the new part. The stain glass windows were sparkling. There was plenty of parking space available. We often used the grounds to walk through, however the gates were open at the fornt entrance, but locked at the rear early evening, which was a blow.
I apologise that you found the rear gate locked when you walked through. All gates are locked by one person so there is no way to ensure no one is coming in the front gate while we lock the rear and vice versa. There are a number of other gates (side and underground) that need locking as well so your...

Went to Easter Sunday Mass here and the renovations that have been done since I last visited were outstanding. A very reverend and awe inspiring church.
Instead of incorporating a modern twist on both sides of our lovely old cathedral.

This has been...

Standing across the road from the Royal Perth Hospital the grounds are well kept and the interior lovely cool and calm spec if you need to spend a little time in contemplation

Inside is usual church interior but its very feminine and calming. Worth talking the wander after lunch to have a quiet moment and pay your respects. There is no fee for entry but...

the new addition blends very well with the old, parking underground is great (no charge), don't forget to have a mass it's a really nice feel
This would have to be the best cathedral in Australia! The blend of modern with the traditional is very, very clever. A much overused word in society today definitely applies here - "awesome". Having visited, many, many cathedrals around the world this one is THE most special. You cannot visit Perth without inspecting this building - it represents so much...

Beautiful cathedral with well architected modern extensions. Three Sunday masses and two daily masses. Beautiful grounds attract people to sit in the shade of trees at lunchtime.
